2024 HYUNDAI KONA -- 7 DAYS LATER

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Kona N Line AWD, presented in Ultimate Red Metallic, receives a thorough evaluation after a week of testing. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, particularly the contrasting matte and gloss black accents, and the functional active grille shutters. Inside, the N Line offers comfortable manually adjustable seats with suede and Alcantara accents, though the reviewer notes the interior materials are predominantly hard plastics. Practicality is a strong suit, with a spacious cargo area, although the slippery load floor is a drawback, necessitating a rubber cargo mat. Driving impressions reveal adequate acceleration for merging and city driving, averaging around 29 MPG, but the reviewer finds the engine revs excessively when pushed, suggesting it's not designed for spirited performance. The vehicle is praised for its quiet cabin, with minimal road and engine noise, though some wind noise was noticeable on a windy day. Advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist are commended for their effectiveness and non-intrusive operation. Overall, the reviewer considers the Kona N Line a compelling option in its price range, recommending a test drive for potential buyers.
